Go pic up a magazine!

 

This coming from the same guy claiming stock automatic ls1 z28s are running 13.1s all day long, and 12.1s for a stock z06

Gts run 14s flat stock. I dont buy a 13.5 by any means, simply dont think it is possible, but everybody everywhere knows that GTs run 14s.

Your saying a 3400 LB car with 260hp/302Ft/LB cant run a 14 flat? BTW the calculators are total bs. Most if not all I have seen dont take into account gear ratios. And none of them take into account hp/tq curves. Great, so you have a car that peaks at 400 HP at 7000 rpm, but if its only making 110 at 6000, what good is it.

HP/wieght calc racing is kinda like magizine racing IMO

 

Never said anything about a ZO6 running 12.1 b/c I've never seen one run.....have seen numerous LS1's run 13.1's and below in stock form. I said that GT's run 14's.....where you got that I didn't say that is beyond me. This is pointless to argue seeing as how it never gets anywhere. You guys have to protect your investment by trying to prove to yourself how fast it is. Maybe you should go drive other performance cars and test them out for yourself. Three of my friends have Mustangs and I have driven them all. They're all 14-14.5 sec cars going by track numbers. Years are a '95, '99, '00. The '95 is REALLY slow. Anyway, point being, don't be hypocritical if you've never even driven any other performance vehicle. If you have and still think that 260hp/302lb are massive, then you're delirious.

 

Some of the variance here in this argument can be accounted for by car and others driver differences. My 02 z28 was not that fast for some reason until about 70mph (rear end I guess). Then I drove a 99 TA the other week and it felt similar to a C5 in the low end, go figure?

As I have said here before on this baord, I just don't know why if you own a ford you must hate a Chev and vice versa. Am I the only one who likes both? F-bodies have some advantages over the Stangs and vice versa. I'd have one of each if I could afford it.

P.S. got a qoute from a local tuner this week for a procharger- He he he.


95LT1 why do you visit this site if you own an f-body? not trying to start a fight, just curious.

 

I like F-bodies too! I almost bought a '01 WS.6 before I ended up w/my '02 GT. The only reason I got my GT was because I was able to get it on the 'A' plan, & did not have to get rid of my Gixxer to own it. Had I went w/the T/A, I would have had to sell the bike for the extra money, & I'm a biker at heart, not a car nut. I also looked into the SLP Fierhawk option, but in the end my Gixxer ended up being the deciding factor on everything. I have been keeping a close eye on the C6 vette, & read the new Z06 will be hitting the floor 1.5yrs. after the C6 this year, & will be a 7.0L!!!! I maybe saying goodbye to the GT[8D].

I've seen a Stock GT hit 13.78 on an ET, I don't know why that is so hard to believe. Low 14's, or 13.9 is a lot more common by far, but of course everyone knows 95LT1 knows everything. Just for the record, I think stock GT's of just about any year are slow. They need help big time, but they have TONS OF POTENTIAL!

 

Glad to see the ignorance still exists on this board!!

 

13.78 is completely reasonable. I ran a 13.99 with my convertible bone stock...Or I guess with a MAC catback exhaust.

I'm pretty sure the exhaust isn't good for much HP, so I'd buy the 13.75. 13.5 might be pushing it a little.

I stand corrected. It was Dan saying the Z06 runs 12.1s. You were the one saying that a stock LS1 T/A w/ AUTOMATIC will run a 12.8.

Ive never driven any other performance vechical????? How about my fathers 69 Mach 1? That isnt a performance vechical????? I guess mid 11s isnt a very good 1/4 time then.

I dont think 260HP is massive. I KNOW a stock 99 and up GT will run a 14 flat in the 1/4 with a average/good driver.

With my 00 I raced a 5spd 96/95/94 (not sure) LT1. I had 5 people in the car, he had one. Supposed to go on go (my brother in the passenger seat was counting 3,2,1,go). He went on 1. After the massive jump on me (1.5/2 cars), I still managed to reel him back in so at about 100 my front fender was lined up with his rear one. This was with K&N and Flows only. Absolutly no other mods. The Z was stock.

I guess that im just "dreaming" that my car can run a 13.9, either that or stock LT1s run 14.5s

BTW comparing a 95 GT to a 99 and up is apples and oranges. Ever heard of PI heads??

 

Hey man, we have the same car........!!!!.Mine look nicer though.....

 

Any car looks good with Lt. Dan Spears on the hood.
